Re: Optimizing a string processing sub

use Inline => C => 'EOT';
...

Update: Sarcasm aside, the problem statement is somewhat ambiguous. Do you mean have the same characters in the same positions, or have somewhere in them the same character (e.g. is `foop' and 'poof' a 2 or a 4 (or a 3 if multiple occurances of the same character only count once))?

Here's your `...`: `use Inline C => <<EOT; UV score(char* a, char* b) { /* it doesn't like const... / char mark[256] = { 0 }, i; UV sc = 0; for(i = a; i; mark[i++] = 1); for(i = b; i; i++) if(mark[i]) sc += mark[i]--; return sc; } EOT` [download] Yep, you're right, it won't work for Unicode. Modification to do so is left as an excercise for the diligent student. czth*	[reply] [d/l]
